OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Free Land of Grue is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.464 billion Grueans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grueville. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gruean economy, worth a remarkable 1,140 trillion Grue Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 120,546 Grue Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government-sponsored autobiography 'A Leader For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Leader's supporters, children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grue's national animal is the Manatee, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Grue is ranked 17,425th in the world and 1,081st in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
